Ti, Thanks for your differing perspective. Re: "I haven't noticed a major slow down unless I'm 5+ hours into the program." Are you saying that the parameter dials respond as evenly and as smoothly as Poser 4 (or Poser 5 with just one character), when you get 3 or 4 figures (characters or clothing) in Poser 5? No problems with overshoot of the dial, non-linear movement, numeric value changing after you release the mouse from the dial adjustment? Good to know, as that would seem to imply 1.4GHz is fast enough, whereas 1GHz isn't (in my case at least). Re: "Perhaps it is just me but my XP system has almost always requires a click to refocus on an proggie." Agreed, but poser 5 is the only app I know where you have to click to regain focus from within the same application. (No other applciatiosnrunning.) Focus goes to main Poser window when it should be still on the Parameter Dial window. It's a very odd UI design for Windows, but per Stewer works fine on a Mac. And, in my reference to mini-Camera dials at top of Preview window, I was trying to refer to the pan and rotate controls that appear when you select multi-pane view in Poser 5. These I was surprised to find are not part of the ProPack interface.
